| Abstract |
The Physics of Radiation Dosimetry presents the fundamentals of radiation dosimetry through a logical sequencing of topics. This comprehensive treatment lays out basic concepts for the novice, then uses that foundation to introduce topics that all students will need to know--such as charged particle/matter interactions and photon/matter interactions. |
